I work in the sciences, and have an idea for a program/tech solution to a common problem animal researchers run into, and my old lab griped about daily. I have the problem defined, and I have several ideas about a solution; my skill set doesn't include programming and my University doesn't care about developing "programs" only biotechnology ideas.

I'd like to pursue this, but getting bogged down trying to get started.

As I see it, I can fund this out of pocket and hire programmers to build this piecemeal, or find a partner who's willing to take a risk and work on this.

It's a long shot, but any helpful advice?

Sorry if wrong sub.

If you know enough to scope out what you need I've had success using upwork.com

You get what you pay for though. Do plenty of research on feedback from other gigs that people have completed
